About Simple Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction removes a tooth that is visible above the gum and can be loosened and lifted out. It is usually needed when a tooth is too damaged to repair, is loose from gum disease or is making space for other treatment.
The area is numbed, so you should feel pressure, not pain, and we explain each step beforehand.
